Climate crisis summit: Will COP28 be another copout?


The 28th Meeting of the Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, due to take place between Nov 30 and Dec 12, 2023, in Dubai, has been dogged with controversy even before it begins because it's being held in an oil exporting nation and will be led by the CEO of the national petroleum corporation. — MICHAEL JOINER/360info
